SOLD
This colorful spring path was found at the Denver Botanic Gardens here in Denver. The gardens are such a gift to a person as myself who loves flowers, loves painting flowers and never makes time to grow her own!

This was such fun to paint with the bright and vibrant early spring colors. It is all the colors I am now seeing here in Denver. After last weekend's snowfall and melt, everything is coming up colorful and fresh.

Yes, you did see this composition the other day, but not this one. This was another study done for my painting class but this one had the original white linen background whereas, the other day it was toned with an orange background. It is fun to see what a difference a background tone makes for the same painting. Each has its own merits.

SOLDHere is another small spring pastel painting. It feels like spring here now that we had a huge spring snowstorm leaving us lots of much needed moisture! The storm dumped at least of foot of very wet snow here in Denver, which will result in lots of beautiful flowers popping up this week.

SOLDI am thrilled with this little painting. It was a quick study demo that I did for a painting class I am teaching. I am having such fun with my students as they are so enthusiastic and passionate about learning to express themselves on canvas. Their questions and solutions keep me fresh in my approach to painting. The scene is from North Park Colorado in early July when the wild Iris are brightening up the fields.

SOLDI found this scene at our Denver Botanic Gardens a few years ago. It was such a vibrant sight with the shimmering yellow Coreopsis (often called Sunshine Superman) contrasted with the purple flowers in the background.

SOLDThis is one of my favorite pastel paintings where I had fun interpreting these flowers beyond what the eyes can see. It is a fun, lyrical painting and I hope to create more of these abstracted images.

While in Greece my husband Jim and I were hiking around the island of Hydra. We were basically lost most of the time which led me to find far more pictures than if we had been on a known path. I found this wonderful scene then!

I found this little kitty quietly having his morning bath while wandering the streets in Greece. He never noticed me coming around the corner with my camera and continued to pose while I found another good painting subject!
